To find real answers to your bad skin, it all starts with knowing the real causes.

How to Fight the Causes of Bad Skin

Here’s how you get bad skin:

First your hormones fall out of balance.

That causes excess oil production by your skin.

The excess oil becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.

The bacteria irritates your skin, causing inflammation, and bad skin.

Bad skin causes stress, which causes more bad skin.

That’s bad skin in a nutshell. Now let’s learn how to fix them ALL, one at a time, starting with the last one on the list…

1. Reduce Stress

It all starts with breaking the cycle. Stress aggravates bad skin. But stress reduction is a complicated lifelong process. And we want clear skin today.

So for now, let’s just take a simpler shortcut. An herb known as rhodiola has been well established to reduce cortisol levels in our body. Cortisol is also known as the stress hormone. Lower your cortisol levels, and your stress levels will follow.

Try taking them for a while as a dietary supplement and see if that helps you.

2. Kill Bad Bacteria, Introduce Friendly Bacteria

Usually a dermatologist will prescribe you antibiotics to kill those infections on your skin. Problem is, they kill indiscriminately, meaning they also kill the good bacteria in your gut that aid in digestion and keep you healthy.

Think healthy digestion is essential for maintaining healthy skin? How can it not be?

So here’s what you do…3 things:

Take your medicine – Don’t ignore your doctor. That’s never a good idea. And anyways, you don’t have to abandon traditional medicine in order to embrace natural cures.

Introduce friendly bacteria – Take a probiotics supplement help repopulate any of the friendly bacteria in your gut that may have been killed by the antibiotics.

Kill more bad bacteria – As as a natural topical treatment, try applying coconut oil. The anti bacterial and anti fungal properties of coconut oil make it the perfect solution for clearing up infections without the unwanted side effects of antibiotics.

A word of warning though: Use caution when applying coconut oil to your face.

For some people it works miracles. For others, it has the potential to make the problem worse. It is an oil, after all. Do a little test spot first to see how your body reacts to it.

3. Reduce Inflammation

When doctors want to reduce inflammation they prescribe steroids. But that’s not a long term plan by any means.

If you want to reduce inflammation safely and naturally, you do it with food.

Various foods including leafy green vegetables, peppers, fish, nut, and spices are all known to curb inflammation.
